Effect of fructooligosaccharide supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota stress index carcass quality and meat quality of broiler

Effect of fructooligosaccharide supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microbiota stress index carcass quality and meat quality of broiler

Abstract

Supplementing broilers with different levels of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) under stress conditions, such as higher stocking densities and recycled litter that were not a significant difference in broiler performance, carcass quality and meat quality between the FOS-supplemented groups and the control group (p>0.05). FOS supplementation improved intestinal health by increasing the villus height to crypt depth ratio Lactobacillus populations increased, and Escherichia coli decreased with FOS supplementation. The heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was reduced which indicated lower stress.

Objective

การใช้ยาต้านจุลชีพส่งผลเสียเป็นอย่างมากโดยทำให้เชื้อทนทานต่อยาเเละตกค้างในเนื้อสัตว์ได้ ปัจจุบันผู้ส่งออกไก่ใช้น้อยลงหรือไม่ใช้พราะบาง ประเทศห้ามใช้ จึงได้มีการนำสารทีมีความปลอดภัยมาใช้ทดแทนยาต้านจุลชีพ พรีไบโอติก ได้เเก่ FOS เป็นหนึ่งในสารเสริมที่เป็นอาหารของจุลินทรีย์ดีที่มีประโยชน์ในลําไส้ ซึ่งช่วยปรับสภาพเเวดล้อมภายในลำไส้ให้ไก่มีสมรรถนะการเจริญเติบโต สัณฐานวิทยาของลำไส้ ภูมิคุ้ม รวมถึงคุณภาพเนื้อเเละซากให้ดีขึ้นได้"

APS Evolution: Sustainable Automated Parking Innovation for User-Centric Solutions

Parking space shortages in urban areas contribute to traffic congestion, inefficient land use, and environmental challenges. Automated Parking Systems (APS) provide an innovative solution by optimizing space utilization, reducing search times, and minimizing carbon emissions. This research investigates key factors influencing user adoption of APS technology using the UTAUT2 framework, focusing on variables such as Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Trust in Technology, and Environmental Consciousness. The APS Evolution project presents a smart parking solution that enhances efficiency, minimizes environmental impact, and improves user experience in urban settings. The initiative emphasizes technology-driven urban mobility and sustainable parking management to align with the evolving needs of modern cities.

Stirling Engine System for Green Energy

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.

Banana Blossom Chips

Banana Blossom Chips is a healthy snack rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based protein. It is a result of combining local Thai ingredients: banana blossoms, which are high in dietary fiber and antioxidants, chickpea flour, a source of plant-based protein, and red jasmine brown rice, which has a low GI value and high antioxidants. It is processed to create crispiness and a unique shape, reduces fat, is gluten-free, and helps maintain nutritional value. Therefore, it is a new alternative for health-conscious consumers and adds value to Thai agricultural products.
